iGoogle

29 August 2007

I started using the iGoogle personalised home page quite some time ago now, and over time have configured it to have almost everything I need displayed on it. This is the screen that I have open on my browser the majority of my day at work, and it gives me a great view into everything that is important.

From top left to bottom right (going in columns) I use:

CheckMail - which checks my IMAP email server and lets me know how many new/unread messages I have

Google Reader - which shows me the title and site name for the most recent 5 (configurable) items

Every now and again I follow the Add Stuff link to see what is new. And whilst checking that link I've just gone and got distracted by the Ski and Snow Report gadget :-) - one to install in preparation for the big trip me thinks.

Jane Dallaway: I want to make the world a kinder place because I believe a kinder world would be a fairer and more inclusive place. I am curious and kind. I have keen attention to detail, am great at organisation and planning, and love language. I was born in Hull but belong in Brighton. I spend my spare time singing with Soul of the City choir, reading, writing letters for 'The Silver Line' and for 'From Me to You', walking the dog, and taking photographs. I am the maintainer of brightonbloggers.com.
